Here's How to Cop the Air Jordan 3 "Cardinal"

We’re calling it now, 2022 is going to be a good year for the Air Jordan 3. And, after the wild success of last year's A Ma Maniére collab (our hottest sneaker of 2021, FYI) we are more than ready to welcome the silhouette back into the limelight. Kicking off this year's Jordan 3 releases is the Air Jordan 3 “Cardinal,” a super-clean take on the shoe that pays homage to some of the best Jordan 3 colourways of all time. And, it's coming in family sizes.

A strong white, red and grey combo has always found favour on the AJ3, and we think that the “Cardinal” colourway will be no exception. Managing to reference earlier colourways such as the “Fire Red” and “White Cement” Jordan 3s, as well as the Air Jordan 7 “Cardinal” the “Cardinal” AJ3 could become an instant classic.

The “Cardinal” Air Jordan 3 features a predominantly white leather upper, highlighted with signature AJ3 “Elephant” or “Cement” print overlays around the toe box, eyestays and heels. “Cardinal” red accents dress the eyelets, liner and heel Jumpman logo, as well as a portion of the midsole for added contrast. Elsewhere, bronze hues decorate the Jumpman tongue logo and lower eyelets.

The “Cardinal” Air Jordan 3 is set to release Febuary 24th, so be sure to head over to Nike SNKRS for your best chance of copping!

Up next, the Jordan 1 Zoom is getting a tye-dye makeover.
